Environmental & Molecular Toxicology

Finding Journal Articles

Recommended Databases

Top Three EMT Databases to Start With:

Biological Abstracts/BIOSIS - topics focus on biology, including biochemistry, endocrinology, genetics, microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, and physiology.

MEDLINE - topics covered include clinical and experimental medicine; microbiology; pathology; pharmacology; physiology; reproductive biology; toxicology; and veterinary medicine (virtually identical to PubMed).

Web of Science - topics include all science disciplines, includes cited reference searching

Other Databases to Try:

SciFinder Scholar - covers all aspects of chemistry, requires installation of search software.

Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management (ESPM)- covers environmental sciences topics

AGRICOLA -covers agriculture topics

CAB Abstracts - covers agriculture, forestry, nutrition and veterinary medicine.

TOXLINE -covers toxicology, including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pesticides, environmental pollutants, mutagens and teratogens.

NTIS -Government-sponsored research reports and technical papers from all areas of physical, life and applied science.

ArticleFirst - topics covered include science, technology, medicine, social science, business, humanities and popular culture.

ingenta - covers almost all topics, includes an automated alerting service that delivers the tables-of-contents of journals via e-mail.

Dissertation Abstracts - includes the complete range of academic subjects appearing in dissertations accepted at accredited institutions.
